"Yo!" shouts a familiar voice. "I am your host, Chris McLean, and welcome to a brand-new season of Total Drama, right here on Camp Mahpee, an island south of Ontario, Canada! Here's the deal for those of you who may not know. Twenty-two contestants signed up to spend several weeks at this crappy summer camp. Here they will compete in teams doing various challenges. The winners will be nicely rewarded, but the losers will have to vote off one of their teammates. In the end, two contestants will remain and battle it out for a luxurious prize! So, get ready for an all-new premiere of TOTAL. DRAMA. NEO!
Episode 1: Unhappy Beginnings
On the docks, west of Camp Mahpee, Chris stood impatiently waiting for the contestants. "Finally, here comes our first contestant!"
As the first boat pulls up to the docks, a caucasian teenage boy, with black eyes, is seen leaning on the railings of the boat. He wore a munsell blue T-shirt, denim shorts, rolled-down white socks, and a pair of black shoes. On top of his head was a white hat, with two "ears" sticking up. Once the boat stops, he jumps off and lands on the dock. The rest of his belongings are thrown onto the docks, which consist of a lime green backpack, and the boat leaves after.
"Aww yeah! Perfect landing!" the boy exclaimed.
"Finn!" Chris exclaims while raising his hands, "Welcome to the Island! And congratulations on being the first camper to make it to the island! I'm sure you're pleased."
Finn carries his belongings as he strode to Chris's position. He extended his arm out to receive a high-five. "Thanks, man! I'm so psyched to be he-," Finn's sentence is cut short as he stops to take a glimpse of the island. "Or maybe not."
"Don't worry," Chris falsely reassured. "You'll feel right at home."
Finn let out a nervous laugh and proceeded to head to the other end of the dock.
"Guess I should just wait here," he thought.
The next boat arrives, and a short, light blue, black-eyed bipedal cat gets off, carrying a suitcase. He wore grey trousers, coupled with a tan sweater, which has brown cuffs and a brown collar. Oddly enough, he didn't seem to have any shoes. As he walked over to Chris, he gave off a presence as threatening as a young Scottish Fold.
"Gumball, welcome to the show," Chris said as he is forced to bend his neck down.
"So far this is pretty disappointing," Gumball complained as he looked around.
"True," Finn agreed. "But it may not be so bad."
"I highly doubt that."
After Gumball gave his blunt response, the third boat arrived.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
The cries came from a seemingly little, fair-skinned girl. She was wearing a sleeveless dress and a bloomer with a mantelet and skirt donned over it, along with gloves and plain leather shoes. She also had blonde hair, with two twin pigtails at the sides of her head, and had round, pink eyes.
"You said there was a beautiful resort!" she said as she made her way down. "Clear blue waters and everything!"
Chris smugly replied, "Yeah we lied, but hey at least we have a great beach!" Chris motions his hands to the polluted beach by the dock.
Annoyed, Biscuit takes her suitcase and walks to the end of the dock. At the same time, the next boat arrives. A teenage girl, with fair skin steps off the boat. She wore a pink, plaid, short-sleeved shirt along with indigo jeans that stretched down to her calves. Her hair was blonde and combed up to a single point, and she had round, black eyes. As she slowly walks over to Chris, she inspects the place, and her expression shows that she isn't pleased. Regardless, she easily brushes off her disappointment.
"Hi, you must be Chris McLean."
"Why yes," Chris responded. "Enjoy your stay, Ilana."
"Thanks, I'll try." Ilana takes her belongings and proceeds to walk to the other contestants. "Hi, my name is Ilana Lunis."
Biscuit smiled, "The name's Biscuit Krueger, but you can call me Bisky for short."
"Hi, I'm Finn," said Finn, "And this is Gumball."
"What up?" said the blue cat.
As the four talks, the next boat arrives, and two little girls hover off the boat. The first one had long, fiery red-orange, waist-length hair, and pink eyes. She wore a pink dress that had a black stripe in the middle with white tights and black Mary Janes. She also wore a red bow on the top of her head.
The other girl had short black hair in a flip with a small triangular part on her forehead. She had green eyes and was dressed in a lime green dress that had a black stripe in the middle as well. She also wore white tights and black Mary Jane shoes with her dress.
"Dude, are they flying?" Gumball asked.
"Yeah," Finn replied. "What, you don't see that very often?"
"What? No!" Gumball scratched his chin for a moment. "Well actually…yeah, I do."
The girl in the green dress looked around the docks. This was then coupled with an angry look on her face. "Oh brother, this place is definitely going to suck."
"Yeah thanks, Buttercup," Chris said sarcastically.
"Still though," said the girl in the pink dress, "It could've been a nicer island. By the way, where do we stay?"
"You're staying in cabins, Blossom," Chris replied.
"So, no resort?" Blossom asks.
"Nope." Chris then motioned his hands to the other end of the dock.
Blossom sighs, and hovers with Buttercup to the other contestants.
"You guys seem a little bit too young for this," Ilana noted.
That comment struck a nerve with Buttercup. "Yeah, it'd be reeeeal embarrassing if we beat you, eh?"
Ilana realized she might have been condescending. "Sorry, I didn't mean any disrespect."
"It's fine," Blossom replied. "Buttercup's just a bit insecure, that's all."
"No, I'm not!"
Instantly, a tall, muscular man possessing a spiky jet-black hairstyle, and dark-colored eyes, manifested in front of Chris. He also had soft eyes, a seemingly kind demeanor, and a lighter-tannish skin complexion. He also wore an orange gi, secured by a black knot-tied obi over his waist, with a "界王" (Kaio/World King) kanji mixed on the back of his gi. He also wore blue wristbands and blue kung-fu shoes.
Chris also falls over in complete shock "AHHHHH! Goku? What the hell?"
"He shouldn't say words like that," muttered Blossom. "Professor Utonium said bad words are not polite."
Buttercup rolled her eyes. "Well, if you haven't noticed, the professor ain't here, so get off your high horse."
Blossom and Buttercup exchange irritated looks at each other.
At the same time, Goku laughs and said, "Sorry there, I missed my boat. So, I figured this would be the fastest way here."
"Woah!" Gumball exclaimed, wide-eyed. "How did you do that?"
"Teleportation, right?" Biscuit inquired.
Goku quizzically looked over to the contestants. "Yup, I call it instant transmission."
"Just don't do that again." Chris commands, still in shock. "Especially around me."
Goku bows and claps his hands together, as if he was begging for forgiveness. "Sorry, heh. Won't happen again."
Next to arrive was a Caucasian-American teenage girl of tall height, with a slender build. She has blonde hair wrapped in a ponytail and almond-shaped eyes and black pupils. She wore brown armor over gray clothing, a large brown pauldron on her right shoulder, and a studded belt with a holster and sword attached. She poses a slightly intimidating presence as she walks up to Chris.
"Sup.
"Welcome to the island Sash," said Chris. "A bit over equipped aren't ya?"
"You can't be too prepared." They share a brief handshake before she meets the others.
Sasha looks around. "Eh, I've seen worse. You guys must be the other contestants?"
"Yes," Ilana joyfully exclaimed "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Cool sword!" Finn complimented "Where'd ya get it?"
Sasha grinned. "It's a gift from a friend."
The next boat arrives, and a muscular man of below-average height walks off. Along with his spiky black hair, he had a prominent widow's peak, sharply defined eyes, and slightly tanned skin. He donned a blue, sleeveless bodysuit, white boots, with striated yellow tips, and white gloves. As he got onto the docks, he looked rather aggressive and intimidating.
"Welcome Vegeta!" Chris exclaimed. "You look thrilled."
"Hey Vegeta!" said Goku as he waves. "You should've told me you'd be here."
Vegeta grunts. "Well, at least this won't be a complete waste of time." Vegeta inspected the other contestants, who to him, are not the least bit intimidating.
The others were not as amused.
"Looks like someone is arrogant," Sasha said, mildly irritated, "Guys like you are just big talkers."
"Trust me," Vegeta remarks while crossing his arms, "I can back up my previous claim."
"Something tells me he's not bluffing," Biscuit noted.
"Oh, you think so?" Gumball sarcastically replied.
Biscuit simply elbowed Gumball in the head, causing the cat to jerk in pain.
Just then, the next boat arrived, and a tall, anthropomorphic mocking jay, and a much shorter, bipedal raccoon walked off the boat.
The taller one's upper portion of his head, wings, tail feathers, and back are mostly blue, while the lower portion of his head and chest are white with a faint, blue line down the length of his chest. A thick, curved black marking is on each side of his head, around where his ears would be. His legs are grey with black stripes across the width and two toes. Like most blue jays, he has curved, crested blue feathers, or "hair", on his head.
The other one had short, spiky hair. He has dark brown circles around his eyes which is apparently a facial mask, like a normal raccoon would usually have. His body and hair are brown with small, darker brown lines to show the thickness of the fur. The underside of his snout, chest, and stomach, are grey. He also has a long tail with six dark brown stripes on it.
Chris extends two finger guns. "Mordecai, Rigbone."
Mordecai snorts. "Dude, did you really ask him to call you that?"
Rigbone, or better Rigby says, "Ugh, shut up. I thought it was cool, alright?"
"Ha, right."
The two walk over to the other contestants and stand next to Gumball. Gumball is amused to see two other animal contestants. However, he's unable to muster up the courage to speak to them, because he realizes they're literally naked. The other contestants noticed this too and were weirded out to various degrees.
Just then, another contestant arrived. She had fair skin, violet eyes, and short black hair with a small ponytail at the top and at the back of her head, held by a green hair tie. She also wore purple lipstick. Her clothing consisted of a black choker around her neck, a black tank top exposing her midriff with a purple oval in the center, a black striped skirt with a green crosshatch design, purple leggings, and black combat boots. She also wore a pair of darkened bracelets around both of her wrists.
"What's Total Drama without a goth girl?" Chris said. "Meet Sam."
"Great," Sam scoffed, "I hate this place already. Seems like a huge health code violation waiting to happen." Sam continued to walk to the other end of the dock.
Chris scratched his head and gave off a confused gesture. "Um, ok. Man, these people are downers."
Another boat arrives, and a short, bluish dome cylinder, with round black eyes, slides off the rails and onto the docks. Unfortunately, he fails the landing, but quickly picks himself back up. "Hello, losers! You might as well give the prize to me!"
Vegeta, Buttercup, Rigby, Mordecai, Sasha, and Gumball couldn't help but laugh aloud. The others snickered beside them.
"Ha-ha," starts Chris while trying to hold back a laugh, "That's one way to make an entrance Bloo."
Bloo, while embarrassed, tries to play it off. "Y-yeah, sure was. All part of the plan."
"Ok then" Sam chuckled, "Please explain your elaborate plan."
While Bloo was slightly dumbfounded, he quickly perked up to give Sam a response. "This is a reality show. Comic relief characters always go well with the fans."
"Yeah, until it gets annoying," Sasha replied.
The next boat arrived, and a young, teenage girl, with fair skin and brown, pig-tailed hair, walked off. She donned a red shirt, and a white miniskirt, which she wore over dark blue shorts. She also carried a green and white bag she put around her waist.
"Hi everyone!" she exclaims "I'm May!"
"What's up May?" said Chris "Welcome to Camp Mahpee."
"Thanks, I'm so happy to be here." May joyously walked over to the other contestants. "This is going to be fun, right guys?"
"If spending several weeks at a disgusting summer camp is what you call fun," Sam remarks.
"Oh, come on guys," Ilana said, motioning her fist up. "We should keep our spirits up."
"Right on," Finn replied.
Before Sam could continue to complain, the next contestant arrives on the dock. He's a short, pink dog that seems extremely nervous.
"I still can't get used to the animal contestants," Chris whispered to himself. "Sup Courage."
Courage gestures a brief wave before walking to the other end of the dock.
Two more contestants get off another boat. One was a laid-back, young, African-American girl wearing a pink cap, a blue shirt, and golden hoop earrings. The other one was a Japanese-American girl wearing an oversized green shirt and had long, black hair. They both wore matching black shorts as well.
Chris points out a finger gun. "Abby, Kuki welcome."
"Sup McL-," Abby, who also goes by Numbuh 5, is then interrupted by Kuki, who goes by Numbuh 3 herself. None of the campers or even Chris knew this though.
"Hi, Mr. McLean!" exclaimed the girl in green. "Hi everyone! It's so nice to meet you!"
"Geez," said Bloo "She's way too loud."
"No kidding," Rigby agreed.
"Kuki, don't interrupt next time," Numbuh 5 said, slightly annoyed.
Numbuh 3 awkwardly rubbed the back of her head. "Sorry about that!"
On the next boat, a tall, but lean man stepped off the boat. His hair was jet black hair and he kept it tied in a Japanese chonmage. His clothing consisted of a simple white and gray gi in the style of a kimono, a white obi around his waist, and a pair of wooden sandals. He also had a sheath, holstering a katana at his side. He walks towards Chris and the other contestants. "Greetings."
"How you do Jack?" Chris responds. "Enjoy your stay."
"Thank you." Jack then walks over to the other contestants.
"Hm, stoic." Chris then spots the next boat approaching the dock. "Ok, let's see who's next."
Most of the contestants had an ominous feeling. The contestant that came off the boat seemed like your average little girl wearing a pink dress with a yellow flower in the center, black shoes, white socks, and blonde hair accessorized with a black headband. However, she had black eyebrows that are thick and furrowed, with a frown to match which gives off a scowling expression. Her hair was curved into a style, resembling devil horns. Judging by her appearance, she seemed anything but friendly.
Chris proceeded to put on a convincing smile. "Mandy, welcome to the island"
Mandy took a look at the other contestants. Judging by her competition she knew this wouldn't be easy. "Hello." Mandy walked over to the other contestants and stood next to Numbuh 5.
Numbuh 5 noticed Mandy and couldn't help but introduce herself. "Hey girl, names Abby." She extended out her hand, but Mandy simply glanced at her and looked away. While she was agitated by the rude gesture, Numbuh 5 simply brushed it off, but she couldn't shake the feeling she'd seen Mandy before.
The next boat dropped off a contestant, who was literally on fire. She had flaming red-orange hair that burned brightly. She also had eyes that sparkled in the sunlight. Her skin was bright orange, and she wore a firey dress under a light orange surcoat with hot pink trimming.
"Everyone, please welcome our next hottest contestant, Flame Princess!" said Chris.
Mordecai leaned next to Goku and whispered, "Dude, is she literally on fire?"
Goku was also astonished. "I think so. Wow, that's amazing."
Finn on the other hand was shocked that Flame Princess was even here. "Holy glob."
Flame Princess maintained a careful distance near Chris. "Hi, nice to meet you." She then looked over to the other contestants and suddenly noticed Finn. She then quickly averted her eyes and stood next to Mandy, while staying away from Finn. Finn noticed this and frowned.
The next contestant to come off the boat was a young man with bushy, brown hair. He had angular, brown eyes and wore a red jacket, unbuttoned, and a black shirt underneath. He had a bright smile on his face as he walked towards Chris.
"Jad-I mean Judai," said Chris. "Glad to have you on board."
Judai high-fived Chris. "Thanks, Chris, it's sweet to be here. By the way, I have a question about- "
"HELLO FELLOW CONTESTANTS!"
From the last boat, the final contestant jumped onto the dock. He was a bipedal cat with narrow green eyes and black fur, with two whiskers sticking out from the side of his head. He donned a red cape along with a red sash on his waist, crimson gloves, and leg protector. "I am Mao Mao, and I am on the path to becoming a legendary hero!"
The others were taken aback by Mao Mao's sudden entrance.
Judai walks up to Mao Mao and bends down. "Huh, a real talking cat. Nice cape."
Mao Mao is clearly flattered by Judai's compliment. "Ahem, thank you."
"Well then," said Chris, "It seems that all the contestants are finally here. Time for a special orientation. Meet me at the campsite in 5!"
"Finally," said a relieved Gumball. "It's like I've been standing here for hours."
XXXXXXXXXX
By 5 minutes, all twenty-two contestants are gathered around the campsite, sitting on logs. Chris walks up to his own designated wooden podium.
"Alright then, welcome to Camp Mahpee! This will be your new home for the rest of the summer. The contestants, or better yet campers, sitting around you will be your cabinmates, competition, friends, enemies, and/or frenemies.
The campers exchanged looks with each other. In particular, Finn tried to get Flame Princess' attention, but she simply ignored him.
Chris begins again, "Whichever one of you manages to not get eliminated after each challenge, will walk home with a grand total of one million big ones!"
"Hey Chris, where are we staying?" Bloo asked.
"The cabins are east of the campsite, man."
"Are they separated by gender?" Ilana asked.
"Of course," Chris answered. "Boys in one cabin, girls in the other."
"Ok but how about supervision? I mean, don't get me wrong but some of us are children."
"Hey!" Buttercup cried. "I don't need to be supervised."
"I certainly don't need anyone babying me," Bisky remarked.
"Aside from myself and the workers on this camp being your supervisors, you'll be able to do whatever you want whenever you want," answered Chris.
"That's so awesome!" Gumball exclaimed. "I could definitely get used to this."
"However, your attendance is mandatory for every challenge," said Chris, "Now we are going to split all of you into two teams." Chris then got out a sheet of paper with a list of the teams. "When I call your name gather with your team members, got it?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Courage, Gumball, Mandy, Sasha, Goku, Flame Princess, May, Kuki, Abby, Mordecai, and Jack you're… Team 1!"
"Wow, great name Chris!" Numbuh 5 scoffed.
"Qui-et!" said Chris. "Now, Judai, Finn, Biscuit, Vegeta, Blossom, Buttercup, Rigbone, Bloo, Sam, Mao Mao, and Ilana! You shall be known as… Team 2!"
"Can you please stop calling me Rigbone?" Rigby asked aloud.
"Hey, it's a cool name," Mordecai mocked.
"Dang," Mao Mao groaned. "Why are we number two?"
"Don't worry, that is only temporary," Chris reassured. "For now, take your stuff to your assigned cabins! Well meet at the mess hall in about thirty minutes"
XXXXXXXXXX
As Chris said, there was a boy's and girl's cabin, but he failed to mention the two doors leading to two rooms in each cabin. On each door was a written note. For instance, in the girl's cabin, each door had a note that either read "Team 1" or "Team 2." Ilana and Sam were the first to approach the door to their room.
Ilana read the note before doing anything else. "I guess this one's ours."
Sam took a look at the door as well, just to make sure. "Great, let's go in."
One by one the female campers went into their respective rooms. Over by the boy's cabin, Judai was the first to arrive and he opened the door to Team 2's Male cabin. In each room were 3 bunk beds, with enough space underneath to store luggage. There was also a lamp by each bed, 2 moderately large dressers on each side of the room, and on the wall farthest from the door was a window.
Judai looked inside his team's room and had a slight feeling of familiarity and nostalgia. "Woah, kinda reminds me of the Slifer Red dorm."
"I call top bunk!" Rigby slightly shoves Judai aside and jumps on the nearest top bunk bed.
"I call this one!" Judai exclaimed, quickly climbing up to a nearby bed.
"Ooh," said Bloo, "I'll take this one."
"Aw man," Finn whined, as he is the next to arrive with Vegeta and Mao Mao. "The top bunks are taken. Oh well."
Finn brings his bags and sets them on the bed under Judai's. Judai eyes this and smirks.
"Guess that makes us bunk buddies," he said. "Nice to meet ya, Finn."
"Ditto," Finn replied.
Vegeta gazed at the room and huffed. He wasn't at all impressed by his living arrangements.
"Ugh, the barracks on Freeza's planets were more spacious than this," he thought to himself. "I swear if nothing piques my interest here, I'm leaving as soon as possible."
He began to pace toward the bunk bed that Rigby was sitting on top.
"Oh yeaaaah," Rigby gushed in a relaxed tone. "It's been sooo long since I slept in a real bed."
"Rigby, is it?" Vegeta called.
"Yeah. What do you want?"
"I'll sleep on the bottom bunk. Don't move too much or I might kick you through the roof." Vegeta smirks and puts down his belongings.
In response, Rigby nodded and gulped.
Next door the guys of Team 1 were putting their stuff down and unpacking. Goku took out a strange capsule and activated it by pressing the button on top. With a small BOOM, it expanded into a suitcase that contained his clothing.
Courage didn't have much to unpack, so he decided to spend his time taking a short nap on his bed. As he slept, Mordecai made his way to the door, he accidentally stepped on a cockroach.
"Aw, gross." Mordecai lifts his foot to inspect. "This place is worse than Rigby's side of our room."
"Rigby's your roommate?" Gumball asked.
"Yeah, we live in this house where we work at. Rigby's a total slob."
"He can't be that bad," said Jack.
"Trust me, man, the dudes next door will definitely be complaining."
"If you say so," Gumball noted. "Still wish I had a friend of mine on the island. That'd be fun."
Mordecai nodded. "Yeah, I know what you mean, but we're a team, so I guess I gotta put that aside."
Meanwhile, in Team 1's Girl cabin, May was unpacking her stuff when suddenly Sasha approached her.
"Hey, May."
"Oh. Hey Sasha. Do you need anything?"
"I was wondering if you want to switch bunks."
May frowned. "But I already got the top bunk."
"I know, and I'm really sorry, but I really can't sleep on bottom bunks. I always feel like the top bed is gonna collapse, and it really makes me paranoid and unable to sleep. I figured since you seem pretty cool and thought you wouldn't mind." Sasha wrapped her arm around May, causing May to get a bit uncomfortable but at the same time, slightly flattered.
"Well…I guess you could."
"Right on May!" Sasha hugs May and proceeds to climb the ladder to the top bunk. "Cute shirt by the way."
May smiled. "Thanks."
Mandy, on the other side of the room, observed the situation.
Meanwhile, Ilana, Bisky, and Sam walked out of Team 2's Girl's cabin.
"Hey, Chris!" Ilana exclaimed. "Where are the bathrooms?"
"The communal bathrooms are by the mess hall," replied Chris.
"Great," Biscuit groaned, "That means we have to share."
"That's stinks," Sam said. The three of them began to start walking to the mess hall. "Right now, I just hope the mess hall has a vegetarian option."
"Can't eat meat huh?" said Ilana.
Sam nodded. "Can't eat anything with a face. You should try it, it's much healthier."
XXXXXXXXXXX
The campers gathered in the mess hall where they meet a man wearing a helmet covering his eyes, a red shirt, and an apron. He had a gruff exterior, similar to someone who works in the military.
"Campers!" Chris said. "This is your chef, Jane Doe, but you can also call him Soldier!"
"Did he just call him Jane?" Blossom asked until she was cut off by Soldier.
"ATTENTION, MAGGOTS!" yelled Soldier
Numbuh 5 cringed and gently facepalmed. "Oh, man. Chill with the attitude."
"I AM YOUR CHEF NOW! I WILL FEED EACH OF YOU SORRY SACKS OF SCUM THE FINEST, AMERICAN CUISINE AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!"
Sam raises her hand. "Is there a vegetarian option?"
"LADY, YOU ARE IN AMERICA!"
"But we're in Canada," Sam whispered.
"WE DON'T SERVE YOUR LITTLE, HIPPIE FOOD! YOU WILL EAT REAL FOOD! MRE RATIONS!"
Several of the campers groan.
"Huh?" Courage said in confusion.
"What are MRE rations?" Jack asked.
"That's food that they give to the military," said Ilana. "You see- "
"QUIET MAGGOTS! OR I WILL SHOVE MY BOOT UP YOUR ASS AND SEND YOU TO CHINA!" Soldier coughs for a brief second. "Now, come and take your grub."
Goku pats his stomach. "Oh boy, I'm starving!"
Soldier hands Goku a tray with pre-heated food. IT looked like a very unappetizing TV Dinner.
"Am I supposed to eat this?"
"Why of course fancy pants!" Soldier mocked. "I'm sorry if this isn't your typical egg foo young served with noodles and communist tea karate man, but you will love the taste of true capitalist cuisine!"
Goku gave Soldier a confused look. He didn't seem to understand most of what Soldier said, except for the food he mentioned. "O-K then. Man, I could go for some homemade noodles right about now. Maybe some fried chicken too."
"You and me both," Numbuh 5 agreed.
One by one, the rest of the campers took their trays and seated themselves at either one of the two tables. Everyone consciously decided to sit with their teams, naturally hoping to form bonds or just doing it out of courtesy.
"Asian beef strips and vegetable fried rice," said Sam, "Well at least, there is something vegetarian in this."
"So this what we're gonna be eating for the rest of the summer?" Mao Mao asked.
"You could just leave now," Biscuit teased. "Would save some of us the trouble."
"Heh, not a chance Biscuit."
Biscuit smirked. "Now that's proper motivation, and please call me Bisky. Lady Bisky and Ms. Bisky are also acceptable."
"Uhhh, sure?"
"Hey there's a cracker too," said Judai. "Oh, and a flavored drink packet! See this isn't so bad. It kinda reminds me of a TV dinner, if you were in the army."
"Still wish there was a 5-star resort," said Finn, "Rations are not what I wanted to eat today."
Finn began to ogle at Flame Princess, who was sitting at the table across from him. Flame Princess was conversing with her new teammates, while seemingly paying no attention to him.
"Hey Judai, mind if I get something off my chest?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"There's this girl I used to date."
"What about it?"
"Well, she's actually here on the island. It's Flame Princess."
Judai looked over to Flame Princess, to whom Gumball was generously donating some of his food. "Huh, how did that go? Did she like burn you too much and that's why you broke off?"
Finn looks to his side. "She burned me alright, a lot, but I loved her anyways." Finn laughed a bit before he continued. "I did something messed up to her and we broke off. I tried to get over her, but man it hurts. What should I do?"
Judai, who doesn't have any experience with romantic relationships, thought for a while and said, "Listen Finn, I'm gonna be honest with you and say romance isn't my thing. Though, you could just go up and talk to her."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah man, what can go wrong?"
Finn stood up and walked over to where Flame Princess was sitting. "Hey, Phoebe."
Flame Princess looked up. "Hi…Finn."
They then shared an awkward silence. Gumball, who was sitting beside her, tried to look away so he wouldn't have to deal with the situation. Finn had so much he wanted to say, but he just couldn't muster the will to do so.
"Well, see you later?"
"Sure Finn."
Finn walked back to Team 2's table and sat beside Judai with his hands in his face. "Aww man."
Judai took a bite out of his food. "Yeah, that could've gone better, and I wish this grub actually tasted better, gross."
At the same time, May was poking at her food with a fork. "I could really use some of Mom's cooking."
Mandy sat beside May. "Hey, May. I wanted to ask you something."
"Yes?"
"Why'd you let Sasha walk over you like that?"
"Don't worry about me, Mandy. I got it handled."
"Really? Didn't seem like that."
"Look, I don't want to make any enemies here. Better to get along with everyone right?"
Mandy sighed, "Sure, just know I'm always willing to help. I just don't like taking anyone's crap."
May looked off a bit, and noticed Sasha was coming to sit across from her.
"Hey, May." greeted Sasha. "Oh, and Mindy, right?"
"Glad to see you remembered," Mandy replied, bluntly. "It's Mandy. Also, don't call me Mindy again."
"It's still the first day," Sasha noted. "Don't mind me if I don't get your name the first time."
Twenty minutes passed and the campers were done with their food. Moments later, Chris walked in, ready to give them their next instructions.
"Campers!" Chris exclaimed. "Time for your challenge!"
Rigby stands on the table, pumped for what's to come. "Yeah-yuh! What are we doing Chris? Dirt bike racing?"
"How about cliff diving!?" Bloo suggested.
"No," said Numbuh 3, waving her hands in protest. "That's way too scary."
"Relax people," said Chris. He then proceeded to stick his index finger up. "Your challenge today is to come up with a clever team name. A name that the fans watching at home will love."
Vegeta crossed his arms and gave Chris a confused look. "Really? That's all?"
"Yeah," agreed Gumball, "While that's super safe and easy, it's kind of lame."
"I make the challenges, and you better do them," Chris said smugly. "You got 10 minutes, now get to work!"
The two teams each gather around their respective tables and start crafting ideas.
"Any ideas?" Jack asked.
"Um, Number Ones?" Gumball suggests.
"Not really liking that one," said Numbuh 5.
Numbuh 3 nods her head. "Me too Numbuh F-"
Numbuh 5 quickly covers her mouth and whispered, "Did you forget we can't let anyone know ANYTHING about our organization?"
Numbuh 3 nods and gives her a thumbs up.
"What was that about?" Sasha asks.
"Oh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it, girl." Numbuh 5 removes her hand from Numbuh 3's mouth and lets out a nervous laugh. This just causes Sasha and the others to get more suspicious.
"How about the Dragon Team?" Goku asked.
"That's not bad," said Jack, "Or we could go with White Lotus?"
"Rainbow Monkeys!" suggested Numbuh 3.
"Yeah no," Courage replied. "White Lotus sounds pretty good."
"Yeah, let's go with that," agreed Flame Princess, "All in favor?"
Everyone but Numbuh 3 raised their hands. Numbuh 3 proceeded to pout and cross her arms.
"11-1," said Mordecai, "White Lotus it is."
Meanwhile, Team 2 is still coming up with a name.
"I still don't see what's wrong with the name I suggested," said Buttercup.
"I think Whoop Butt Squad is a bit too much," said Ilana.
Biscuit snickered. "Bit immature too."
Buttercup pouts. "It really isn't."
"But seriously we need to stop arguing."
"Yeah, we've already spent over 8 minutes coming up with a stupid name," said Bloo.
"Well, that's because TV viewers can be very high-strung," said Sam. "Though they can be pretty dumb."
"How about the Wonder Team?" Blossom suggested. "Or maybe that's a bad name too?"
"I don't know," Finn replied. "Maybe the Killer Newbies?"
"Hey, I got an idea!" Mao Mao exclaimed as the rest of the team turned their attention to him.
"Alpha Delta Epsilon Sigma. What do you think?"
Sam rolls her eyes. "Yeah, great frat name. It's honestly just a random collection of words and there's no ring to it."
"Hey!" Mao Mao exclaimed, "It's a great name! Greek letters are pretty cool."
"I guess, though it's a bit of a mouthful," Judai replied.
Vegeta lowered his head and sighed. "This is hopeless. We might as well just stay as Team 2 if we can't agree on anything."
Team 2 continued to argue until Ilana stood up and slammed her hands onto the table.
"Everyone please!" Ilana pleaded, "We need to- "
"TIMES UP EVERYONE!" Chris exclaimed on a megaphone.
"Ow, my ears," Rigby whined.
"Was that really necessary!?" cried Numbuh 5.
"No, but a good megaphone can't go to waste," said Chris, "Team 1, what is your name?"
Jack stands up. "The White Lotus."
"Nice. Team 2?" asked Chris.
Each team member gives off a collection of random team names, except for Vegeta who had his hand in his face.
"SHUT UP!" yelled Chris into his megaphone. "Team 2 I am ashamed. No coordination, no cooperation, not even a single voice of reason." A mischievous grin appears on his face. "You are going to make a great, dysfunctional team! However, we need a name, so we are gonna pick a random team member and that is… Buttercup!"
Buttercup shot up. "Yes! I choose Whoop Butt Squad!" Buttercup struck a triumphant pose, while the rest of her team gave her an agitated look.
"Well viewers, there you have it. The White Lotus and The Whoop Butt Squad, ha-ha. Choose which team name is the best, and they will get an advantage in the next challenge happening in the next few hours. Until then, see you soon on the next episode of Total. Drama. NEO!"
For clarification here are the two teams
White Lotus: Courage, Gumball, Mandy, Sasha, Goku, Flame Princess, May, Numbuh 3 "Kuki", Numbuh 5 "Abby", Mordecai, and Samurai Jack.
Whoop Butt Squad: Judai, Finn, Biscuit "Bisky", Vegeta, Blossom, Buttercup, Rigby, Bloo, Sam, Mao Mao, and Ilana.
Welp that's episode 1, hope I stook the landing. On a side note, there were a few references to the various shows these characters come from. I wonder if you caught them all.
Also, remember to leave a review, if you'd like, and tell me which team name you think is better.
Other than that, see you next time :)
